Yang Caizhi heard from the senior officials in the hall that the county magistrate Wang did not board the warship with the officers and soldiers and disciples of the martial arts world, so he must have hid in a safe place behind.

As the county magistrate's personal guard, Wang Fugui naturally did not need to take the risk of participating in this cruel bloody battle in Taihu Lake, but he was able to get a great contribution to "protecting the safety of Wang County Magistrate".

This is simply a task tailored for Senior Brother Wang Fugui.

Whenever the disciples of the Wang family in Wujun are at critical moments, there is always someone to take care of them. There is no risk at all, but the contributions after the war are huge, which is better than others' hard work.

Li Jiao, who is also an inner disciple of the Medicine King Gang, would not be able to enjoy such good treatment without such a powerful backstage of aristocratic family. She could only go to the battlefield to fight and make contributions.

"Senior Sister Li Jiao, you are a second-rate master. Whether we are a senior brother and sister can survive this battle depends entirely on you."

Yang Caizhi looked at Li Jiao with a pitiful look.

"Don't worry, the master said that after this battle, everyone will reward merits according to their merits. Killing one water bandit will get ten taels of silver rewards, killing five water bandits will earn a merit, and you can directly be promoted to the first-level position. In the future, my qualifications in the alchemy hall will be promoted all by this battle. I should do my best. Just follow me carefully and see if I can get some credit with me!"

Li Jiao said indifferently.

Yang Caizhi sighed, with their third-rate cultivation level, how much credit can they make. As long as they don’t die, they will be lucky to save their lives.

Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of them carrying several large cloth bags on the fishing boat.

This is the senior executive of the Medicine King Gang, who ordered them to bring the fishing boat. The burlap bag was wrapped tightly. Without orders, it is strictly forbidden to open it and check it privately.

"By the way, Tie Niu, isn't this what you disciples from the sword guard hall last night escorted from the villa with a carriage? These big cloth bags are so heavy, what are they in it?"

Yang Caizhi said strangely.

"The master said that they were all white stones, so let's shut up and don't ask. Who knows what they are for?"

Zhang Tieniu shook his head.

These lower-level disciples just obey orders and dare not ask too much. Since the senior management above prepared them, they were mostly for war.

In the dark night.

Taihu Lake, the lake surface is dull and reflects the stars and moonlight, and you can't see clearly if you get a little further away.

Hundreds of ships of all sizes were shaking waves on the surface of Taihu Lake and moving quickly.

On seven or eight warships, dozens of cargo ships and hundreds of small fishing boats, three thousand navy officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of gang disciples rowed with paddles, and the large army moved forward silently.

The officers and soldiers and disciples of the martial arts world gradually became silent, stopped talking, and looked solemn.

After entering Taihu Lake, they may encounter water bandits at any time.

This upcoming battle with the Giant Whale Gang is probably an extremely cruel bloody battle. I don’t know if there are children from the world who can eventually go home alive. How many familiar brothers of the same family will become corpses and stay in this thousand-mile blue lake.

...

The huge fleet set off from Xukou Town and quietly paddled over twenty miles on Taihu Lake. When we arrived in the lake, we were close to a small island called Laoshi Mountain, not far from Xidongting Mountain.

At this time, the first faint light of dawn had appeared in the sky, and the sky was a little bright, so you could barely see the situation in the distance.

Seven large warships of the coalition forces.

The one walking ahead is the main warship.

Hanshan Zhenren and the leaders of all gangs were all at the highest point of the bow of this main battleship, looking at the overall situation and commanding in the center.

Although Zhao Taishou was known as a Confucian general, he was a civil servant and had never practiced martial arts. Therefore, he stayed in the rear to plan and did not set out with the coalition forces.

Headed by Hanshan Zhenren, three major gang leaders, Li Shuo, Han Pingshan and Sun Baihong, were deputy, and the leaders of the small gangs and the imperial corpses, led 3,000 officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of disciples of various gangs to join forces to encircle and suppress the Giant Whale Gang.

The officers and soldiers and gang disciples were all a little grateful.

In order to paralyze the water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang, their operation was quite secret. The time was to choose to arrive at Xidongting Mountain at midnight in Laba around dawn to launch a raid on the Giant Whale Gang.

At present, everything seems to be going well.

The giant whale gang water bandits are the best at water fights.

Many of them, the disciples of the Jianghu gang, are landslides, and they are much worse in water battles, but as long as they can safely cross this dozens of miles of Taihu Lake and climb the West Dongting Mountain Island, the chance of victory will be much greater.

"The coalition forces will arrive at Xidongting Mountain soon, and the Giant Whale Gang will notice it. Let the ships be careful!"

True Man Hanshan looked at a dark island mountain in the distance and said.

"Dong!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the bottom of a cargo ship, as if it was a powerful weapon, and was drilling the bottom of the ship hard.

"Dongdong!"

"Click!"

Soon, there were dense dong dong sounds under many cargo ships and fishing boats. This was clearly a large group of water ghosts who were chiseling ships.

The gang disciples on the ships were immediately alarmed.

"No, the water ghosts from the Giant Whale Gang are coming, they are chiseling boats at the bottom of the lake!"

"Prepare to fight and go into the water to kill the water ghost!"

On the lake, all the boats of all sizes suddenly fell into chaos and shouted loudly.

Among the disciples of the gang, some of them knew the nature of water, plucked up their courage to jump from the boat into the lake, fought with the water ghosts in the lake, and tried to protect the ship.

However, these water ghosts who came to dig a boat were the most proficient in water battles in the Giant Whale Gang. They practiced water battle techniques day and night in Taihu Lake, and formed groups, with extremely strong underwater martial arts skills.

Even if the disciples of the gang can swim, they rarely practice underwater battles. How can they fight this large group of giant whale gang water ghosts who practice day and night!

For a moment, hundreds of gang disciples who jumped into the water died and injured, but they still couldn't resist the desperate efforts of these water ghosts under the water to dig the boat.

"Brothers, chisel them through me! Kill an officer and soldier and gang disciple and reward eleven taels of silver! In this battle, we will let the officers and soldiers and other gangs in the world taste the power of our Giant Whale Gang Water Ghost Hall! Let them regret being born from their mother's womb!"

The leader of the bandit Ding Shisan floated out of the water, took a few breaths of fresh air, and shouted excitedly at the many water ghosts around him.

He is the best at water fights and is also a famous leader in the Giant Whale Gang Water Ghost Hall.

Many water ghosts who came out of the water to breathe, shouted excitedly, and immediately drilled into the bottom of the water to drill a boat.

In just a short moment, the water ghosts had already drilled through several large cargo ships and more than a dozen fishing boats, and the lake water kept pouring into the cabin.

On the cargo ship, those disciples who did not understand water nature were holding swords, but their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they screamed in panic for help.

There were also some small fishing boats that were even overturned by the water ghosts under the lake. Many gang disciples fell into the water and fled to other ships desperately.

On the lake, the only undisturbed are seven large warships.

The wooden boards on the bottom of these warships are extremely thick, and the swords of the water ghosts will be difficult to chisel through the bottom of the ship for a while. Even if they chisel through the bottom of the ship, these large warships also have separate watertight cabins, so they are not afraid of being soaked in water.

True Man Hanshan, as well as four masters including Sun Baihong, Li Shuo, and Han Pingshan, stood at the highest point of the bow of the warship and ruled the overall situation.

With their profound cultivation and strong perception, they naturally brought the entire battlefield on the lake surface to their eyes.

"The Giant Whale Gang's Water Ghost Hall has been launched. It seems that there are thousands of water ghosts. They seem to be ready to intercept our coalition ships halfway through Taihu Lake.

If you cannot quickly defeat these water ghosts who are drilling ships, you may be killed or killed by half of our coalition forces. What good strategies do you have to deal with? You can quickly defeat the water ghost tactics of the Giant Whale Gang?"

True Man Hanshan stood at the bow of the ship with his hands on his back, his indifferent eyes swept across the battlefield on the lake, and his expression was calm, asking several other masters and the small gang leaders.
